Gaming venues are not outhouses, people

When you gotta go, you gotta go, but that’s no excuse for confusing a gaming venue with a septic tank.

Last Friday, police were summoned to Pennsylvania’s Parx Casino after staff reported a man had urinated in a slot machine’s coin tray. Upon arriving at the casino, police found 53-year-old New Jersey resident William Compton not at all receptive to suggestions he leave the premises.

According to police, Compton became physically combative when they tried to forcibly remove him. (Which is odd, because Compton was clearly no longer full of piss and vinegar.) In due course, Compton was subdued, handcuffed and taken to jail, where he was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and “related offenses.” Compton has a court date set for July 2.

This isn’t the first time a Pennsylvania casino has been soiled in this manner. In March 2014, a Rivers Casino card dealer called security after noticing that the gambler at his table had urinated in his pants. Escorted to the exits, the drunk decided to exact his revenge by defecating on the casino’s glass door.
